Pastor John Akuma of God’s Elect Penticostal Church, Aguda, Lagos, has been arraigned before the Surulere Magistrate’s Court for allegedly duping  members of his church of millions of naira under false pretence of taking them abroad on a missionary journey.

The cleric told some members of his church that he had a divine call to preach outside Nigeria and offered to take some members of the church overseas.

He allegedly told those willing to go to pay N430,000, each for travel documents and provision of job abroad.

P.M.NEWS gathered that more than 10 members of the church paid the money before the pastor disappeared.

Efforts to locate his whereabouts proved abortive, until luck ran against him when he was spotted by one of his victims, Ejike Paul, on Ishaga Street, Surulere.

Paul invited the police and the accused was arrested and charged to court for fraud and stealing.

One of the charges against him reads: “That you, John Akuma, 33, at Ishaga Street, Surulere, Lagos, did obtain N430,000 from Ejike Paul on the pretence of helping him to secure travel documents and ticket.

The offence is punishable under sections 516, 419 and 390 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 17, Vol. 2, Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2003.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge and the magistrate, Mrs. A. O. Adegite, granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties.

The sureties, the court ruled, must show evidence of payment of tax and their addresses must be verified.

The matter has been adjourned till 18, January, 2010 for trial
